Which mode do you prefer?

[Team_Jacob]

Why is 75% of the NA population obsessed with siege. It's a terrible mode for crpg IMO (great for strategus). I'd love to get some 80+ battles going but the only way to do that is on the EU server with a high ping. It seems like EU is the polar opposite. Nearly all EU players like battle mode. What gives NA bretheren? I personally enjoy battle way more than siege.

[Vibe]

From what I've seen on EU it's usually the less skilled players playing siege and more skilled are on battle.

[okiN]

It's all about Battle.

[CoWorm]

EU player. Play 98% battle. Siege was only fun with semi-heavy armor, a pole build with Bardiche and overhead spamming people climbing up ladders. Other then that i just find it frustrating and/or boring.

[Tzar]

Voted battle...

Siege have been utter shit since they introduced the NA maps to the EU siege servers 

[Tears of Destiny]

Battle I prefere, always have more fun and more jokes when playing it. Siege is good when I want to practice manual blocking since not only are there constant respawns but everyone wants to spam and never block back so great practice. I still prefere battle.

[The_Bloody_Nine]

Battle. I prefered Battle allways over Siege in Native as well. crpg siege is a lot better, but there is just no part-of-a-team-feeling. I blame constant autobalance switching.


Though I still wish there would be a TDM for mindless diversity. Love this totally chaotic mod and its still a reason to play native now and then.

Also still curious about CTF in crpg, could be great fun I imagine.

NA No preference/preference conditional on which of my four characters I am playing and/or server population.

[Elio]

I wish say CTF but it doesn't have much success on cRPG or even on Warband.
Then battle 50 vs 50 on big/plain maps.

For siege I don't like the idea of ​​taking the flag in 10 seconds in an area virtually isolated from the rest of the battle field.
With backdoors that will never exist in reality, which makes the castle like a sieve.

I didn't realize this was a complaint thread until after I voted.

'What gives'?   

[MouthnHoof]

I voted battle, but siege has alot of attractions, the largest of which is the fast respawn times. The annoying part of siege is that it is static - the flag is in the same place and you storm the castle, get killed, spawn storm the castle... I never got to try capture the flag before it was taken out. If it is anything like "defend the flag" from 1866 that is the best of all possible worlds.

[Mala]

EU here and i prefer siege.
Back then it was battle, but now get shot from all sides and trampled down by hordes of cavalry (and i have a shield and some polearm support).
There is at least a chance for some melee fights on the siege servers.

EU - Siege for grind, Battle for fun

[IG_Saint]

EU - Siege for fun, battle for grind.

I only really enjoy battle if it's less than 50 players. Siege is just mindlessly zerging, but at least that has alot of melee combat, instead of waiting around for the ranged to shoot each other apart, so you can finally get into melee, where there's always the chance to screw up and get one shotted which means you spend the rest of that round doing nothing.

[rustyspoon]

NA - battle all the way.

Generally there are only kinds of players who play siege on NA: New players, or experienced players who feel like effortlessly toping the charts.

Battle is much more dynamic, teamwork is much more important (camping a flag is not teamwork), and individual skill matters so much more. I just find siege to be terribly boring. You either camp the flag, camp a ladder, camp a ramp or just charge forward over and over and over again.
